Bit.Trip Beat Coming to PC This Fall

September 17, 2010 6:30 AM

The first chapter of Gaijin Games' chiptune BIT.TRIP rhythm game series, BIT.TRIP BEAT, will make the jump from WiiWare onto PC this fall, the indie developer has told Eurogamer, hoping to one day bring the series to other platforms too.

"Look for Bit.Trip Beat on the PC soon," Gaijin Games CEO Alex Neuse told the site. "If that performs well, we might do more cross-platform stuff in the future."

"We'd love to take the series to the other platforms but it's never as simple as just bringing an existing game over. First parties want exclusive content, and everyone has unique requirements," Neuse explained. "What it comes down to is that we hope to someday be on the other consoles, but currently there are no concrete plans."

The six-part series' penultimate chapter, Bit.Trip Fate, is a shmup due out on WiiWare this fall. Here's the Bit.Trip Beat trailer again, to refresh your memory of it all began.

    No edit button! But there is some interesting stuff on their twitter pages.
    
    @sophie497 We fully expect your name at the top of the Steam leaderboards! Don't let us down :)
    
    Steamworks confirmed!
    
    @alialsawaf Yes sir! BIT.TRIP BEAT will be released via Steam on PC and... wait for it... Mac as well!
    
    Will be a Steam Play title.
    
    @alialsawaf We'll get there! The plan to move through the series like the Wii: CORE, VOID, then RUNNER, FATE...
    
    All of the Bit.Trip games will be coming to the PC eventually! Runner is one of the best games that I have played this year.
